Sarah Rogers, Clinical Psychologist

I am a Registered
Clinical Psychologist, with a passion for working with children and young
people.I began working in the NHS in
1998, and this set me on the path to training as a Clinical Psychologist.I achieved my Doctorate in Clinical
Psychology in 2004, and took up a full-time post in an NHS child and adolescent
mental health service. In 2014, I began
to offer weekend clinics to young people referred through the private
healthcare system and, in the summer of 2017, I left the NHS to offer a
full-time independent psychology practice.

I have skills in
assessment and treatment of a broad range of mental health difficulties,
teaching and training, consultation, supervision, and research.I describe myself as an integrative therapist,
as my training and experience has equipped me with skills drawn from a range of
therapeutic models (behavioural, cognitive-behavioural, and systemic).Throughout my work, my underlying principle
is to be flexible and creative, and to work with the needs and capabilities of
each individual. I enjoy working in a
job where each day can be both challenging and rewarding, and find it very
humbling to be a part of a client’s journey towards recovery.

Anxiety
disorders are my area of special clinical interest – I enjoy offering
therapeutic work to this client group, as well as teaching and training to
parent or professional groups. I also
enjoy working with individuals who have autistic spectrum disorders, and
providing neuropsychological assessments for children and young people
(something I hope to offer in the not-to-distant future).

Outside of work
I enjoy the simple pleasures in life, including pets, gardening,
cross-stitching, and (most importantly) a cup of tea and a slice of chocolate
cake.
